Hey everyone,

My stock turbo is no longer with us and I am after a replacement, would my best option be finding a second hand one in decent condition or getting something brand new that is equivalent to the stock turbo? Any suggestions on what they might be?

Thanks

Do you still have the turbo? Just get it high flowed, much cheaper than a whole new turbo and it will be stronger and won't let go again. Oh and more power :)

Search for Hypergear on the forum and check out the high flows

2nd hand in usable condition will be about $150 - $250. If you won't be installing it yourself, labour is the only pricey bit here.

Highflowing your current one will machine your stuffed one (assuming no damage to the housing) and replace the center bits for about $800-1200, however for this to work in your car at full potential, it'll need another $2000-3000 worth of supporting mods (intercooler, exhaust, z32 air flow meter, aftermarket ECU, tune, maybe injectors).... and then you'll be a target for police, and/or realise you should have just spend $5000 for a nice garrett turbo like a 3071/3076 package instead of $4500 for a highflow package

Buying a new turbo from nissan, if even possible, will be stupid expensive... don't even consider this

Buying an equivilent size turbo to the new one, probably not worth the effort... you're throwing money at it for no gains.

Since you've got a R34 with a OP6 rear housing, It is a good turbo for high flowing.

High flowed turbocharger will bolton to factory setup with no modifications required. There is no need getting all supporting mods unless you are targeting the full potential of the turbocharger. Factory ECU usually works fine upto 10psi of boost.

High flowed turbocharger has factory appearance, that is unlikely to have you defected then another turbos.

Doing all of those modifications fit an internally gated GT3076 / 71, risking been defected, is not going to get you more then what you can get using one of our high flows.

Lastly we only charge $850 to carry it out with oil line supplied, not $2G.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
